Not for Novices: Take Control of Your Printer

Abstract

If you've ever taken the time to leaf through the owner's manual that came with your printer, you may have seen a list of special features like underlining, boldface printing, and graphics modes. Unfortunately, each printer has a different set of control codes to actuate these special features. As a result, most software packages avoid using these features so that the software will operate correctly with virtually any printer. But what's the point of having special features and operating modes if few software packages make any use of them?
